[QUOTE="TouringGodet, post: 43571, member: 27"] Someone in the So Cal section, many years ago, had some artwork done up for the No 75 ammeter face. I've got one or two sheets around somewhere with, I think, 6 images per sheet. The background of the whole sheet is black, so I think the white lettering is the printed portion, not the black, actually, on second thought, the whole sheet of paper was photographic, and a mask was used to not expose the white portion. I have a busted ammeter, and I took the whole original face plate and swapped it over to a repro ammeter, so I haven't actually tried to use one of those old sheets. I think the sheets were made with a photographic process, not printed. I did a similar faceplate trick years ago on a Volkswagen bug. The fuel gauge failed, and the replacement one had different graphics, so I swapped the faceplates. [/QUOTE]
